LOG NAME: 80RECREATIONAL FISHING GRANT FOR YOUTH 2013 - 2014
SUBJECT:
Authorize Acceptance of a $4,500.00 Grant for the 2013-2014 Take Me Fishing TM Program from the
Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation's Youth Boating and Fishing Initiative and the National
Recreation and Park Association and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (COUNCIL DISTRICTS 3 and 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the acceptance of grant funds totaling $4,500.00 for the 2013-2014 Take Me Fishing TM
Program from the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation's Youth Boating and Fishing Initiative and
the National Recreation and Park Association to provide recreational boating and fishing experiences to
youth in Fort Worth; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund in the amount of$4,500.00, upon receipt of the grant.
DISCUSSION:
The Take Me Fishing TM Program initiative supports local park and recreation agencies and youth service
organizations who serve to reconnect kids with nature and engage kids ages 6-15 in recreational boating
and fishing. Through continued funding from the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation (RBFF),
the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) is able to provide local park and recreation
agencies with access to grant funding, resources, best practices, research and knowledge emphasizing
the long-term health and wellness benefits achieved through boating and fishing.
In October 2013, Parks and Community Services Department (PACS) staff was notified that PACS is a
qualified grant recipient. PACS served as an Anchor Agency in 2007 to train other park and recreation
agencies/organizations in fishing, boating, and aquatic stewardship best practices. PACS has continued
to receive this grant since 2007.
The grant will provide funding to support angler and water conservation education during the 2014
Summer Day Camp Program and 2013-2014 After School Programs. An eight-week education curriculum
will be offered during both programs. Funding will also provide angler education at family fishing events,
youth fishing tournaments, and large events such as HIKIDS Back in School Celebration and Fort Worth
Great Outdoors. Funding will also allow the purchase of fishing equipment to continue to offer Tackle
Loaner sites at both Greenbriar and R.D. Evans Community Centers. Efforts will serve to build and
sustain programs and opportunities to engage young people and their families in recreational fishing and
boating. These efforts will augment public awareness and appreciation for the need of protecting,
conserving, and restoring the nation's aquatic resources. There is a required 25 percent match of grant
funds that will be met by in-kind contributions and staff hours.
